About this listing

These sites were selected based on frequently requested topics. This site is just the beginning, and often a search in Google will be a wonderful way to dive into a subject. Just be careful: not all the information found on the Internet is reputable. Unlike a book, which goes through the scrutiny of the publishing process, anyone can publish a website. See our Evaluating Websites links to find out how to determine whether information you find on the Internet is reputable. If you would like to suggest a site or need help conducting an Internet search, please contact us.

The Massachusetts Central Register is the weekly source for information about state, county and municipal contracts being put out to bid for the design, construction and reconstruction of public facilities in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Invitations to bid, lists of contractors picking up specifications on a weekly basis, and final awards of contracts are all published. Proposals and advertisements for the lease, sale or transfer of real property are published; as are lists of certified minority and women contractors, and contractors who have been debarred from state work.  Another weekly publication, The Goods and Services Bulletin contains solicitations for the procurement of commodities and services (which, generally, are unrelated to construction of public facilities). State purchases of goods and procurements of certain services or consultants are published, while municipal contracts exceeding $100,000 are required to be advertised pursuant to the Uniform Procurement Act (M.G.L. c. 30B). Notices advertising sole source procurements and the availability of surplus property are also published in the Bulletin.
